    He's not assessing a witness for a trial though his lawyer was sent evidence of a political opponent's potential crimes and he was satisfied after verifying it on it's own merits.

    I'm talking about Rudi changing his story multiple times as I just demonstrated

    He didn't change his story, you didn't know the full story? Did I miss something?

    He used to work for trump, as well as Governors Carroll Campbell, David Beasley, Mike Huckabee, Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, and Henry McMaster; US Senators Strom Thurmond, Bob Dole, Tim Scott, and Ben Sasse; and Presidents George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, so definitely unbiased

    Ridiculously biased pollster.
    Twitter account is mostly retweeting PACs and other pro trump material.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,469 ✭✭✭newhouse87


    yes i know but again he was one of the few who got it right last time, just because he is biased doesn't mean he is wrong, His points about shy trump voters are known at this stage.

    Why should there be any focus on hunter biden? Is he running for office?

    Also he stands officially accused of, much less convicted of nothing, he is as innocent as you or I as things stand.

    Because Hunter is a useless crackhead being paid 10 million a year for three years by members of the Chinese communist party. And Joe was getting 50%
    What has hunter Biden got to offer? Only the influence of his father who knew what was going on and actively involved. Look at the Ukraine.
    They tried to impeach Trump over a phone call because it questioned Biden yet there is now evidence that it was in fact true and yet all you hear from the media is crickets and Orangeman bad. It's disgusting. As is creepy joe and his son.

    Those shy trump voters would clearly indicated themselves as undecideds, unfortunately the undecideds are extremely low this time round. If he's saying that these shy trump voters didn't participate in polling then I would question his methods of interpreting those polls

    yeah we will see in few weeks, just think it would be interesting in future if he is right again considering the big lead biden supposedly has.

    Where do you find this confidence in the link you shared? Where do you think these shy voters are? Are they claiming to vote democrat but actually republican?

    passive aggressive? Jesus i posted a link of guy who was right the last time, would you not agree it would be interesting if he was right again when nearly all other polls suggest otherwise. Calm down.

    There is nothing to back up his claim, so was asking why you believed it was true?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,469 ✭✭✭newhouse87


    His claim couldn't possibly be backed up (shy voters), . If he is right again though i think that backs up his point, would you not agree?

    A statement without showing how you got to that point is a guess. Leaving cert maths should teach you that

    if he is right again, would common sense tell you he is right, i would use simple logic and say yes that there is many silent trump voters that are not being taken into account in many polls. We will see in a few weeks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,982 ✭✭✭MeMen2_MoRi_


    Shy voters, is that what undecided voters are being called from 2016?

    Explain this simple logic then

    No, I asked you to explain the logic as to where these shy trump voters are, but you can't

    i already said IF trump wins again, it shows most of the polling is wrong and many trump voters are not outwardly saying they are voting for trump, nothing too confusing there. Your dislike of trump is clouding your common sense. BTW i dont care who wins.

    I'm not sure there will be as many as there were in 2016, but I can see the logic of it. If you're voting for Trump, for whatever reason, and an early 20s college student working for a polling company rings you and asks who you are voting for, you will be less likely to say Trump than Biden. One reason is people don't like being judged, even anonymously. Early 20s college students are not known for their willingness to put themselves in the shoes of people they don't agree with ideologically. The next reason is the fear that the next question will be 'and can you tell me why you are voting for Trump?'. It's a hot-button topic, people would rather a quiet life and say 'Biden' or 'I haven't decided' than have some snarky pollster asking them why they are considering this wrong-think.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,982 ✭✭✭MeMen2_MoRi_


    Trump voters are now somehow shrinking violets, not wanting to be judged over the phone in the comfort of their own home..

    Right, gotcha.

    Some, yes. Not all, but a minority. Maybe 2-4% at a wild guess. How many people must have told pollsters in 2016 they were voting for Hillary when they really were voting for Trump?

    Given the three options, surely they would say undecided then

    Tom Del Beccaro: A Trump 'surprise' victory is in the offing -- here are the 10 tea leaves pointing to it
    7. Early Voting in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ohio.

    National polling from Pew Research indicates that “55% of voters who plan to cast their ballot in person before Election Day support Biden, compared to 40% who support President Trump.”

    However, in the key battleground states of Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin the early voting indicates that “registered Republicans are returning ballots at about the same rate as registered Democrats.” The parties are even in Michigan, Democrats up 2% in Wisconsin and the Republicans up 2% in Ohio.

    Gallup: Trump Job Rating Steady; Other Mood Indicators Tick Up

    Historically, presidents' approval ratings have tended to be most polarized during their fourth year in office, when they are seeking reelection. Trump's first-, second- and third-year average ratings were more polarized than any other president's first three years, and his fourth year is on pace to be the most polarized presidential year in history.

    2 to 4 % swing, even with the margin of error isn't going to get trump over the line given the current status of the polls

    I don't think 2016 suggests this is always the case. Definitely some will say undecided.

    So out of the current undecideds, who are about 6%, how many are those 'some'?

    Is there even a shred of evidence to support this?

    Pretty sure all evidence points to the swing of the undecided voters in 16 pushing trump across the line.. here in 2020 the percentage of undecideds is a lot smaller which is giving trump less room to wiggle his way to victory.
